Positioned at the heart of the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct, the Star Brisbane has unveiled a preview of some of its offerings including a sprawling Sports Bar (pictured above), Brisbane’s largest hotel ballroom and a reimagined Fat Noodle restaurant by celebrity chef Luke Nguyen.

The Star Brisbane Chief Operating Officer, Kelvin Dodt, said the milestone unveiling was a glimpse of what's to come as Queensland’s newest entertainment and leisure destination propels towards its 2024 opening.

Dodt enthused “We are incredibly excited to be able to share a first look inside The Star Brisbane - the entertainment hub of the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct which will transform Brisbane as we know it.”

More than 50 new food and beverage venues are set to make up Queen’s Wharf with celebrity chef Luke Nguyen among The Star Brisbane’s culinary headliners, with his popular South-East Asia food restaurant Fat Noodle confirmed for a reimagined experience and brand-new venue with fresh new flavours and increased capacity.

Nguyen, who has enjoyed a decade-long partnership with The Star across its Brisbane and Sydney resorts, said he was proud to be a part of the destination’s world-class restaurant offering.

“Brisbane is on the precipice of being the next foodie capital of Australia; the food offerings, the art and culture, and tourism is growing, and the city is making a name for itself in its own right. There’s an undeniable buzz about town that is only going to be supercharged by the opening of The Star Brisbane next year,” Nguyen said.

The Star Brisbane is also home to a spectacular 732 square metre Sports Bar; the city’s premier venue to celebrate the world’s biggest matches, races and games.

Endorsed by the Brisbane Broncos – the Sports Bar boasts over 100 square metres of mega LED screens and stadium-like surround sound, plus three exclusive VIP booths large enough to seat an entire NRL team.

With this raft of reveals comes the launch of bookings for one of Australia’s most anticipated event destinations, The Star Brisbane’s Event Centre, purpose-designed for spectacular events of every scale.

Anchored by Brisbane’s largest hotel ballroom – with the capacity to cater for up to 2,000 guests – the state-of-the-art Event Centre draws inspiration from Queensland’s subtropical landscape and signals a thrilling new era for events in Brisbane.

Set to commence a staged opening from April 2024, the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development blends stunning contemporary architecture with thoughtfully restored heritage buildings and beautifully curated landscaped riverside parklands across more than 12 hectares on Brisbane’s river edge. It is expected to attract an estimated 1.4 million additional visitors each year once open and will provide a pedestrian link between two of Brisbane’s largest cultural and lifestyle precincts, connecting South Bank and Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) to Queen’s Wharf and The Star Brisbane via the Neville Bonner Bridge.

Queen’s Wharf Brisbane is being delivered by Destination Brisbane Consortium – a joint venture led by The Star Entertainment Group alongside its Hong Kong-based partners, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium.
